I am in the process of getting some equipment to go AG. I am thinking of step mashing so I have more control. I have a beer keg that I am in the process of converting and will be able to use to boil, but for the time being for my first batch i will not have it set up to mash in. I have a 5 gal. thin stainless steel pot to mash in and after the mash transfer it into a lauter-tun to sparge with hot water stored in a cooler.
My Questions are:
Is my 5 gal. pot big enough to mash up to 10 lbs of grain or so?
I am going to mash over an electric stove, as long as i stir it every 5 min or so do I have to worry about scorching?
Do you think this setup will work properly?
I am not looking to go elaborate and cant spend alot of money on this for now. I just want to get setup with what i have to go all grain soon. any suggestions will be very appreciated...Thanks
